Great buffet. They were better (closer to 5 stars) a couple years ago and their quality has been getting a little downgraded as of late. Not sure why.?? Maybe they dont pay their people enough or something? Even so, this is one of the best I have been to (I am from NY where they have some of the best Chinese buffets in the country)... this is one of the best Chinese buffets you will find in Florida only because they have a fantastic spread of items and the restaurant is very big with nice ambiance. You have to learn what food to eat and what not to eat but that comes from experince of eating there I suppose.... So based on my experience.... I got a few complaints about their food. Why the heck do they put those dessert ball cookies far away from the dessert table? You will find it mysteriously always with the regular menu items spread? Like they are discouraging people from taking too many of those yummy treats. ...Why is there giant pieces of vegetable in the broth of their Won ton soup always? Like it was made in some back alley in a Hong Kong dive (So Wrong). That broth looks and tastes so damn lame. Most important; stay away from the sauteed chicken and beef. You know the little medallion size pieces cooked in a sauce. Those dishes are always mooshy meat that is as chewable and flavorful as rubber! I kid you not! They need to fix those problems and soon! (You will chew and chew and it doesnt do anything :o ) A couple times eating there I got their ice tea and it tasted like yesterdays too old over brewed tea. Though usually its not all bad. I had to get my complaints out of the way to give you fair warning......... There basically are too many things on those tables they have for you to choose from- so you will find many excellent choices.... My favorites are always: fried dumplings. their onion rings are fantastic- and my girlfriend concurs! Most of their seafood items are delicious. Their Alaskan King Crab legs seem to be a big hit with most (but I personally try not to eat shell fish). Most of their Chicken items like Hibatchi or pepper chicken, General Taos Chicken are always good. Their shrimp dishes are usually very good. Their Chinese vegetables are cooked close to perfection. Their salad bar is excellent. Dessert bar is good. Nice assortment of fresh fruits for fruit salads. The host is usually nice but waiting staff is only average at best. They usually cant speak more than a dozen words of English which to me is BS! Ambiance is better than 4 stars. Food choices better than 4 stars. But because I have a few complaints (Mentioned above here) there is no way I rate them above 4 stars.

Había visitado 3 veces anteriores y no tenía queja alguna. Pero hoy fui con mi familia y no tenían ningún papel que dijera que por cada crabs legs eran 9.99 x cada persona y por cada una. Estoy furiosa no vuelvo Jamás por que luego que lo dicen es que ponen el papel y para colmo acababa de empezar a comer y se me quitaron las ganas de comer. Nunca vuelvo a visitar ese lugar. Menos gasto en red losbter que somos 5 y hemos comido un montón de crabs legs y jamás e pagado por tan poco tanto dinero. Eran aproximadamente 50 y pagamos un total de 99 ah y estaba con 2 menores de edad osea que casi ni comen.

This is by far my favorite restaurant. We go all the time (probably more than were willing to admit) and the food is ALWAYS perfect. There are so many things to choose from for everyone to find something that they enjoy. The trays are always full with fresh food and it really is all so yummy. They even have a hibachi grill with tons of things to add and its made quickly right in front of you. Everyone on the staff is so nice and super friendly. I seriously love this place. I really do. Every time Im hungry all I want is to eat here...every time. Id eat here every day if I could!

A++ Excellent food. Huge selection. Fast, friendly service. I have eaten there many more times than I can count and have never been disappointed. The prices are great as well. It is always spotlessly clean and comfortable. Ample seating and a party room. I actually went there with some family for my birthday. The hostess recognized this, secretly asked my sister my name, ran to the store and got a card, signed it with a nice message, and brought it with some cake and ice cream. Overall best buffet in central Florida!

The most un-Asian Chinese buffet. My wife and I flew in to Sanford for vacation and decided to stop here on our way into Orlando. You know its sad when you are at an Asian buffet and you dont see anything that is really Chinese food. Last time I lived in Shanghai, I dont remember French fries, pizza, Apple pie, and beef roast being part of the menu. Granted its a buffet but come on. If I want American buffet food, Im not going to go to an Asian buffet to get it.

With the closure the Chinese buffet further down 17-92 I was pleased to see this one open. When I first went there I found there was a variety of dishes including American, Mexican, and a variety of Asian dishes. I love this restaurant and its impossible to go there and not find something to eat. The food is great and they even have a hibachi grill if you want hibachi style food. All in all I get this 5 stars and I will gladly eat there anytime I can.

How this place got 4.1 stars is beyond me. The Sushi was awful... the miso soup was completely inedible... like cardboard. The spring rolls and plaintains were passable at best. This is a place for those who dont know what good Asian food is (Japanese, and Chinese), and its a pretty bad indicator when most of the people eating there are not Asian. The service was fine, so no complaints there, and it was cheap so I guess that warrants a star.

I have come here from time to time for lunch or dinner sometimes. Its conveniently located within a nice shopping center in Lake Mary. It offers a variety of Asian foods that cover core eastern cuisines. Additionally, it also have a great choice of fruits, salads and desserts. If you like sushi, then you will have all you can eat sushi for around $10 dollars. I will definitely recommend it to my family and friends.

This place has good food but I saw something questionable... And the price to just carry out food instead of sitting in to eat (where I could eat more than I could take home) is more expensive and depends on what you get as well. I like that if you want them to replace something with fresh food they will do it buuut you really gotta ask them to. Overall I would just go there for the coconut shrimp.
